So, I have an EV (Leaf) which would benefit from the ability to charge

This would need a different EVSE than the supplied unit, AND a beefier
mains socket.

Is it OK, in terms of building regs etc, to have a Schuko 16A socket
on a radial from the CU?

I'd use a 25A MCB

Of course its ok. Cookers are run this way.

And the use of a Schuko socket is OK too?

I know I can get a proper home charge point installed, but that's not
the cheapest option.
TIA.
